Nice COMFORTABLE "Career" Wear Sandal - Excellent Workmanship
Written: May 10 '09 (Updated May 18 '09)
The Bottom Line: Quality, well made, comfortable, versatile, career or casual close-toe shoe. Very true to size. Looks great in all sizes. Smart heel height and smart, classic styling.
I purchased two pairs of these very versatile sandles (black and brown) as I needed a professional looking "closed" toe sling-back sandal for the office etc. That can be hard to find!! This is the shoe! Unlike too casual flip-flops or too thin, overly stappy and revealing sandals, the Bello Vita Women's Teaser Pump can take you thru the work day to summer evening walks in the park without effort.
The size was very true to size, and the heel height is just perfect! Not too high, yet not too "matronly" low. This is a very stylish t-strap style shoe. The t-strap look is very flattering on the thick or thin ankle, small or large foot size! Additionally, the classic "Huarache" straping is nice, yet the nipped square toe brings an updated look without being trendy. Looks good in skirts or slacks. The shoe structure is neat and retains it's style even in the larger sizes (I wear 11's)
The workmanship and detailing of this shoe is outstanding! The leather is of excellent quality, softness and strength; the heel seems to be stacked leather, with excellent shaping and squaring. The detail of the top stitiching and insole is high quality. The wrap around ankle strap is adequatly long so those with thicker ankels will have no problem with this shoe. The fit of the Bello Vita Women's Teaser Pump is very comfortable without any binding or pinching.
